Why it works?

Paulas choice is a brand that prides itself in producing well-researched innovative products. One of these products includes the BHA 2% liquid. It contains BHA (Salicylic acid) at 2%.
At 2% the pH of the Paula's choice BHA is between 3.2 % - 3.8 which allows for maximal activity.
It is mild enough to be used everyday or every other day.What we think?

Like with most of my new skin care products I did a patch test before using this product on my face. It comes in a liquid consistency. I used it every evening for two weeks after cleansing. As chemical exfoliants can increase your sensitivity to the sun I made sure I wore a broadspectrum spf sun protection in the daytime. The BHA liquid gives an immediate glow to the skin. I am used to mechanical exfoliation so using a chemical exfoliant was different, it was easier and quicker.

I have not used this product long enough to see a difference on my post inflammatory hyperpigmentantion. Howeever I will do a quick review on this in about a months time on instagram @theskindirectoryPros

The BHA by Paulas choice comes in a bottle which is easy to dispense.

The great thing about Paulas choice is you can buy sample sizes which allow you to sample the product before buying the bigger size.

The sample size also goes a long way. Mine lasted two weeks and I was using it everyday in the evening.

Paulas choice send you a booklet with instructions on how to use the product.

My skin was still glowy the next morning after using this product.

I had a few spots on my chin and after using this product for a week they had completely dissapeared.

I applied it with a cotton wool pad and found that it also removed excess makeup which was not removed during the cleansing process.

It was not drying to the skin.

It absorbed very quickly into the skin.

I felt it helped my other skin care products absorb better into the skin.

There were clear instructions on the packing/bottle on how to use it

Fragrance and colourant-free

Cons

In the UK I could only find Paulas choice on their website.
